According to the tabulation by
Le vis W. RiggT, government cot-
ton statistician for Delta County
13,246 bales of cotton of th3 1934
crop had been ginned prior to
Nov. 1. This report shows Delta
ginnings more than 6,000 bales
behind the report of the same
date last year when 19,259 bales
had been ginned.
Farmers think considerable
cotton will be made yet through a
top crop. Even if cotton from this
reaches as high as a thousand
bales, which few hope for, the
Delta County crop wil still be the
smallest in more than thirty years.

Extension of the final date on
which surplus certificates could

by his parents. He became a suc-
cessful merchant at New Boston

He was scheduled to speak in
Cooper last Thursday on a com-
munity committeemen’s meeting.
Three burglaries in addition to
the usual number of less seriou®
offenses kept local law enforce-
ment officials busy over the week

taking a cabinet radio and several
other articles of lesser value. No

Only a few flags that drooped
from their poles Monday were re-
minders to Cooper citizens that
another anniversary of the cessa-
tion of hostilities of the World
War had been passed. Sixteen
years ago Sunday night Cooper
staged the greatest celebration it
has ever had but its anniversary
this year went almost unnoticed.
Bank employes and county of-
ficials took Monday off as a holi-
day but other businesses were
running as usual. Members of
the Red Henderson Post of Amer-
ican observed the occasion with
a stew Monday afternoon. Pro-
grams were presented in the
schools but were the extent of a
formal celebration.

Monday Morning;
Ankle Is Broken
Ishmel Tollerson suffered a

car on Bast Dallas Avenue Mon-
day morning.
J. O. Jones of Mt. Joy was
driving a Model T Ford and he
and his companion, Mr. Clements,
of Lake Creek, said they were
driving about 15 miles an hour
when the accident occurred. They
stated that Tollerson stepped in
front of their car, evidently not
seeing it, and they were too close
to avoid hitting him.
Mr. Tollerson lives in Sulphur
Spring and has been visiting his
uncle, Jack Williams, here. Mr.
Williams said that the car was
being driven faster than its oc-

Aiming at their first football
triumph over the Commerce High
School Tigers since 1925, the
Cooper High School Bulldogs will
get their hardest workouts of the
season in preparation for the tilt
Friday at Commerce.
Records for the last fourteen
years show that since 1925 there
has been a total dearth of vic-
tories for Cooper. In 1920 "Pig"
Choate “Bull Tom’’ Darwin and
"Cotton” Wilson smashed the
Tigers under a 46-to-0 count and
then repeated their victory the
following year by the margin of a
field goal 3-to-0 In 1922 under i
Captain. Doyce Wheeler the Bull-
in 1923 took another by 27-to-0.
Commeice turned the tables in
1924 by 38-to-0 but Coach Dod-
son’s crew won again in 1925 by
12-to-0.
Since that time the Bengals
have lorded it over the Bulldogs
and in the eight games since that
time Cooper has scored only 26
points. Wendell Darwin, Buddy
J nkins and Ernest Hardy led the
1927 attack that scored 12 points
against Commerce’s 52 and in
1929 the strong Cooper club fin-
ished 24-to-7 behind the power-
ful aggregation that went on to
annex the district championship.

pointg over the state for allot-
ments of Maine Irish potatoes,
